Really the 'republic' is the best town ever? I mean yes every dread locked trust funder had a subarus with bikes, skis, kayaks, and stickers plastered to it, but that's about it. Boulder is cool of you are rich and like to complain about how the rest of the world needs to be like you.

I'll take my small CO mountain towns over the Republic any day.

I love Boulder, but left there in 1987 without regrets. Too expensive and too "cool."

Well if it would quite burning down! Use some water once in awhile....It is too expensive anymore and well Californicated! The county as a whole is seems to be faring well, but I wonder about it lasting!

Boulders not even number 1 in the state, let alone anywhere else (except maybe as #1 destination for pot heads). What a joke.
